Besides my sister, you’re the second person I like the most in this world. Ashton, thank you!"
Ms. Joanna’s brother sure knows how to flatter people.
Look at how happy he made Mr. Ashton.
Zack suddenly realized that the smiles Ashton showed after getting married were more than the smiles he showed in the past ten years.
It was challenging to see Ashton smile once in a year in the past.
Even though Ms. Joanna’s family background was weaker than the Heath’s, she could make Ashton happy, which seemed enough to overshadow any potential drawbacks of their match.
As long as Ashton is happy, that’s all that matters.
However, this was just his personal opinion.
For Lady Octavia, who cares about family status, she might not be satisfied with Ms. Joanna’s family background.
An aunt from the Benington family came to meet Joanna Lawrence.
Like Mrs. Benington, this aunt also loved Joanna Lawrence and had long considered her as the young lady of the Benington family.
When she found out about Joanna’s breakup with David, she thought it was such a pity.
"Ms. Joanna, is it true that you broke up with Mr. David?" her tone was full of disappointment and regret, "You two have known each other for so many years and have always had a good relationship. Why did you suddenly break up?"
Joanna didn’t explain much, only saying lightly, "We weren’t suitable, so we broke up. Sandy, is David at home?"
As soon as Sandy finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "By the way, Ms. Joanna, your sister is here too."
Sandy didn’t know what happened in the Living Room yet.
She found Annie’s sudden visit a bit strange.
Miss Annie Lawrence rarely came to the Benington family alone, and she didn’t know what she was here for this time.
Upon hearing that Annie was here too, Joanna hesitated for a moment.
"Annie is here?" She couldn’t help frowning.
Sandy nodded, "Yes. She’s in the Living Room with Mr. David and Lady Octavia right now. Just now, something happened, and Lady Octavia broke a cup in anger. I heard that Miss Annie was even scared to tears."
"It’s rare to see Lady Octavia angry . Her temper has always been good. I wonder who upset her."
Joanna pursed her lips and remained silent.
She guessed that Mrs. Benington must have found out about David and Annie’s affair, which is why she was so angry.
Although Mrs. Benington loved David, she was not someone who couldn’t tell right from wrong.
If she knew David cheated on Joanna, she would definitely be furious.
Joanna immediately saw David and Annie, a pair of scumbags, as soon as she arrived.
They were glued to each other like conjoined twins.
Annie seemed to be crying, with red eyes, while David gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looking like a tender and considerate good man. This sight made Joanna feel nauseous.
On the other side, Mrs. Benington’s face was cold, and her eyes were still filled with anger, looking terrible.
"Lady Octavia, Mr. David, Ms. Joanna is here," Sandy reminded them.
Upon seeing Joanna, Mrs. Benington’s eyes brightened up and then filled with tears.
She got up and walked towards Joanna. When she reached her, she hugged her tightly and began to cry, "It’s our Benington family who wronged you. I gave birth to a bastard son who let you down."
Joanna was taken aback, but seeing Mrs. Benington crying so sadly, she couldn’t help but gently pat her back, "Mrs. Benington, don’t cry, I don’t blame you."
